The Fosi Audio ZH3 is a full-featured desktop DAC/amp/preamp that genuinely surprised me for $199. It sounds natural and slightly mid-forward with a very dynamic presentation, and it even made my Truthear Gate sound more grand, organic, and holographic than it has any right to at this price.

Pros

+All-metal, hefty build
+Strong power output (2.5W balanced @ 32 ohms)
+Natural, slightly mid-forward and very dynamic sound
+Huge stage, strong imaging and layering for the price
+Lots of wired I/O (USB, optical, coax, RCA; balanced and SE outputs)
+Op-amp swappable

Cons

-Screen brightness is too bright out of the box (remote helps)
-Physically big and heavy
